Human-resembled clock capable of bilateral conversations through telecommunication, data supplying system for it, and internet business method for it

Abstract

A human type clock capable of mutual talks is disclosed, in which besides the conventional time-displaying and alarming functions, the clock responds in human voices in accordance with the relevant situations, and therefore, a pleasant sense of intimacy is given to a lonely person. Further, the voice of a stage performer or an athletic star whom one likes can be stored and outputted, and a human intelligence type training is possible. The human type clock capable of mutual talks according to the present invention includes the following elements. That is, a central processing unit ( 301 ) is loaded with an overall-controlling program, a time function being installed therein, and a data memory ( 303 ) stores a voice information. A voice recognizing part ( 304 ) receives a voice of a user through a mike ( 305 ) to recognize the voice, and a voice outputting part ( 306 ) outputs a voice data through a speaker ( 308 ) in accordance with the relevant situation. A communication interface ( 311 ) is capable of transmitting and receiving a data to and from a communication terminal such as a PC, a hand phone or an IMT2000, whereby the data transmission is possible not only through a conventional wire internet but also through a wireless internet.
